These messages indicate the system is having trouble figuring out your disk. It could be a 'bad' disk but I thought I would mention that I had similar problems (I didn't write them down so I can't absolutely confirm they are true) when I tried a new SATA3/flash drive on my system. It appears that SATA3/flash is not supported currently (I would suspect no hardware support).
